No it's a question to the others that whine "stop talking about politics". Not a specific person
Then I'll respond to your original question. You have every right to talk about politics here and everyone else has the right to not want to debate it because debating politics is a tiring hobby for many. I'm an outsider looking in and the "talk" going on has pretty much taken half to almost all of the thread, and the same four or five people would have dominated the thread with it if not for other people trying to turn away from it with pizza memes. If I'm to believe Pakky, then this is also a consistent occurrence. No wonder people are tired of it.

Follow your own advice on this one. If you don't like it when people tell you to stop talking about politics, why don't you leave? Osby directed you to the best place you can debate these topics.

Tell me what editing one word in your post makes you sound like. And then tell me who is a Nazi.
Wow. You really are a ****ing Nazi sympathizer.

Equating the Jews with the ****ing Nazis is so heinous that I don't know what to say other than I really hope this prevents you from being employed one day.

tbh I sometimes like thinking about what each character in Smash's political persuasions are
no idea why there are some pieces of fan art depicting Mario as Stalin when the dude's a diehard monarchist

Look dude. Those who are uninformed and don't want to look like yourself and others have already shown are not willing to do that so your argument already fails based on what has happened
One question: What has any has of this done?

I won't leave because I don't have a problem with political talk. I also block people who have shown they're unironic neonazis

If someone "leaves your side" because you deplatformed Nazis, then they're Nazi sympathizers and their opinions don't matter.
I can't tell if this is serious or a woke joke.
Yet every time debates happen it doesn't work and the one time they deplatformed someone it worked...
Define "work"? Work as in stop people from talking? Or work as in successful stop "Nazi" from growing in numbers and pull people back to your side?
bro we're talking about actual racists not like generic conservatives

idk about you but i 100% support deplatforming people who think others are lesser because of genetics
And I worry that "actual racists" they are talking about is very much generic conservatives. I only support deplatforming people who advocate violence and doxxing. Having a opinion on the other hand, is not okay.

I’m gonna be real with you. If to get your point across you have to edit someone’s post, you’re not doing so hot. Also, spoiler alert, Jews aren’t Nazis.
Well you say that now then someone brings up Ben Shaprio, Denis Prager, Dave Rubin, Milo..

Discussing politics is only helpful/useful when both sides present valid arguments and thoughts, and can have a modicum of respect for each other. Debating can be useful, but arguing can't. All I've seen on this thread so far is arguing and demonizing the opposition's point of view. If people want to discuss politics, I'd recommend thinking through the presentation of your point of more thoroughly in a way that conveys the message you're trying to get across in a way that will cause people to consider your point of view. Phrasing things as attacks or insults rarely does this. Also, hope everyone is having a great day, and if any of you guys live in NZ, I hope you're okay.

I can see Dark Pit being an anarchist, tbh. Kid really hates his authority.

Why are we talking about Politics? I don't like this subject as it makes me uncomfortable so all I'm going to say is both ends of the spectrum have their flaws which is why I classify myself as an independent. Also the shooting that happened recently was a tragedy may the people who died Rest In Peace.

Look, I don't really care for the political discussion here either, but I much rather hear politics than the daily r34/sex discussions this thread tends to have.
Wow. Did I join this thread on a good day because I haven't seen this yet? Whelp. I'll follow that one The Box song and walk a-, walk a-, walk away.

Sure. Quietly and calmly disagree with the yelling shouting mob. I’m sure they’ll listen to you.

Also, just saying, the issues that come with discussing politics isn't inherent of politics itself, but from the fact that it brings out a bunch of literal nazis pretending they have a valid point.

I really hope this discussion opened people's eyes about certain users here who should've been perma'd long ago.

Having an informed opinion backed up by facts is not equivalent to hate speech or a low bait effort to "trigger the SJWs"

Me: "Nazis are bad because they want to kill people and we shouldn't listen to them"
You: "You should listen to them or else you are the problem."
Me: Unable to tell the difference between a normal person and a literal Nazi.

You are not exactly helping your case.

The problem is you think anyone to the right of Stalin, even self identified Centrists and Moderates. are nazis. Meanwhile using the same rhetoric the nazis used against people they d isliked.

I dont block anyone on principle and i know youll never see this because you lot think I am literally hitler when i was a Gary Johnson supporter, but that doesn't matter because in the end who is the real Nazi? The people who disagree with you? Or the people you have actual real contempt and hate in your heart for.. The same hatred that led to 6 million plus Jews, catholics, gays, gypsies, and slavs being executed in mass.

Honestly I avoid discussing politics because there's a good chance that I'm going to say something that makes me look like an idiot
but most politicians do anyway, so I guess that's part of the fun

One question: What has any has of this done?
I remember one guy going "lol why is *** censored?" While spelling the word out that was censored "Because that's a slur used against Japanese people since WWII" "Oh **** I didn't know that" The person never used that word again.....
I can't tell if this is serious or a woke joke.

Milo stopped going to schools to talk how gays should stay in the closet and how pedophilia is good after he got deplatformed
